In the tiny amount of time we have to comprehend our impending doom should the sun explode (we will know in 8ish minutes, the force arrives very shortly after that), they would report "SUN APPEARS TO EXPLODE, WHAT COULD THIS MEAN FOR FUTURE ELECTIONS?"
I think it's less "they think the position is already a dictator" and more "the general public has absolutely no idea how the office of the president works, or how the powers and limitations on various branches work in general" which is a failing of their education, and a poor reflection on the country as a whole.
Of course that's exactly the way the republicunts like it, "keep the population dumb and they won't even question why you're oppressing them"
If your only experience with the president and their powers comes from (for millennial anyway) various crises (manufactured and non) where the president says "I'm signing this thing to do this" and because the vast majority of congress is behind them, as well as the regular) rest of the population, and it gets done (I'm thinking of things like Iraq), I can see someone thinking "well the president signed a paper, so it MUST happen"
Which is sad funny since I hear the minimum wage comment a lot, but like... How well do you think that will go? It will go just like the student loan bullshit.
And republicunts are such fucking insecure losers, they will happily drag the entire planet down into their bullshit to prevent even one single other person from getting help that they believe they're entitled to the entirety of.
You know. Like Toddlers.
that I didn’t really enjoy the effects overall, but it was a very comfortable way to alleviate boredom and the rebound anxiety and sleeplessness was difficult to handle.
Hey HEY. Hey.
No need to call me out like that...
10/10 response, well said
Israeli Maiming Force
Never thought I'd see the day where, when it comes down to it, JaBles shows he has no spine and folds like the cheap suit his character wore in school of rock.
I am very much in contact with the younger, far more left leaning crowd, so my experience is definitely skewed against basically anything modern Israel has done.
I do know a couple loud mouthed older generational Jewish folk who would like nothing more than for Israel to be the dominant power on the planet, and will have no issue telling you that you deserve torture and torment for literally infinite time (hell) for even vocally supporting Palestinians.
There's a lot of people in this world who get what they want when other people can't separate the two in their minds.
Nice awardspeechedit
You aren't being down voted for saying it's bad to hate on people because they're Jewish or Israeli.
You're being down voted for espousing a false dichotomy, on par with "if you aren't with us you're against us"
Anecdotally, I've never met any Jewish people in the US who didn't have strongly negative opinions of the government/state of Israel.
Some people aren't okay with their holy texts being warped into a cudgel and used to beat down the innocent.
Are we sure?
Can somebody get her on the phone please, we need to get to the bottom of this...
A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
Hmm, to keep responding to see how long you drag this out, or leave and give you the satisfaction of some perceived "final word" like you've won something, or have some kind of superior knowledge that you have yet to actually show?
I guess that depends on how petty I feel today. At least as petty as the person I'm responding to, clearly.
Edit: And you're editing your comments after the fact to change what you've been saying. I'm done dealing with simple minded children.
You try to say here you shouldn't need to talk about specifics "because we all know..." but in other comments you backpedal and say you're dumbing it down for others.
So which is it?
I think you just hit "reply" before your brain caught up with your fingers and heart.
Given your demeanor, I'd say you still have awhile to go before you exit "childhood" regardless of what your ID says. Keep going with the baseless personal attacks, surely you're one more comment away from changing my mind?
Have a good one I guess. Keep being angry and responding to everyone calling you out, it's going well for everyone involved.
"these guns that are different than a completely different kind of gun that nobody brought up before this particular comment are completely different!"
Your grasp of the obvious amazes me.
Do you always resort to ad-hominem when called out for thoughtless comments?
It's still not a good look, dear.
more accurate and can shoot faster
Than?
Go on, you started out so strong.
It IS more accurate and shoots faster than a gun that's less accurate and shoots slower.
Beyond that, you haven't said anything about it, and you've not only just clearly shown you can't be objective when talking about them, you've given just... So much bullshit and called it "information"
Bullets going faster doesn't mean more damage, or more accuracy. It can mean more penetration into things, but that's not a given.
It has never been banned in any meaningful way country-wide
It has been the front and center firearm of every shooters arsenal on the news whether it was used in the shooting or not, specifically because it cosmetically looks like a military rifle. In fact the most common used things aren't even rifles, but handguns.
Functionally it's no different than several other firearms, some of which even shoot the exact same round, but nobody focuses on those because they look like a hunting rifle.
This country needs mountains of reform, including tons of changes to gun control, but what you are doing is not helping that goal in any way.
Be better.
I bailed on his channel when he started making comments about the George Floyd protests in his videos. It was always pretty clear what his beliefs are from a religious and political standpoint, but up to then, he never brought it into his videos.
Sometimes for gits and shiggles, I'll check the one star reviews for things I know are going to trip inexperienced people up.
Like... It's basically the "substituted flour with powdered eggplant and milk with tobacco sauce, 1/10 tasted horrible but I followed the recipe exactly" meme
Especially anything with DIY properties. "doesn't work, connected to the battery and it immediately blew up" when it's clear from the picture they hooked a 48v battery into a 12v speed controller. Or cut some wires they weren't supposed to. Or reversed polarity of an important component. Or....
And rather than admit they fucked it up, they give bad reviews.
I particularly like when the listing is clearly for something that requires assembly, and bad reviews complain it came "in pieces". READ, YOU DENSE MOTHERFUCKERS
And if you see a bunch of bad grammar, and inconsistent specs in a listing.... Maybe don't put too much faith in the $5 item that would cost $100 if you bought it from a licensed and certified source with quality assurance...
Just don't ask who what's in the pattern buffer...
Mass effect was actually one of the first games that came to mind.
Yes, BadShep has some great moments, and some of the decisions actually feel good, but sometimes it just gets too over the top or hurts someone I care about.
Even if I didn't abandon every evil playthrough, I would never have been able to [REDACTED] on tuchanka. Had to be him. Someone else might have gotten it wrong. 😭
And my Arthur is gruff but good-natured, has 0 time for idiots, and won't hesitate to shoot someone in his way, while at the same time will go well out of his way to help someone truly in need.
So insults abound, but he still helps that woman get back to emerald ranch after she twists her ankle. He shoots anyone that's got something he needs, but drops everything to find a missing person.
I like games where I can mix and match but still get good endings.
The only spiders I want gone are the ones that can kill me, and the ones that get too close to me.
If I see one setting up a web in the distant corner? Hell yeah Bro catch all the pests you can.
Crawl toward me less than a foot away? Sorry smash but you sealed your own fate.
